Easy Cucumber & Onion Salad Great BBQ Side Dish!

Growing up my dad hated cooked vegetables so we would have a fresh green salad every night for dinner! Well on some nights we would run out of lettuce but had plenty of cucumbers and onions and tomatoes in the fridge so this is a recipe that my mother taught me. You will love this easy Cucumber & Onion Salad and it will be a great side dish for your next BBQ!

I love this salad and it is pretty and a change from the ordinary green salad! I love to use sweet purple onions but vididala onions can be even sweeter so you can use which one you prefer! This salad is crisp cool and has just the right amount of tang. It is very diet friendly and you wont spend your whole calorie budget on a huge plate of this salad!

Simply peel and slice your cucumbers, you can seed them if you like but I don’t. Slice your onions and separate them. Place all in a large bowl and lightly toss.

Mix your dressing in a small bowl and then pour over vegetables. Lightly toss and then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. If you prefer a less tangy taste you can either add more water or sugar to the dressing! It’s just that easy!

I have made this with red wine vinegar also and it is totally delicious too. You can also change up the herbs, try cilantro or dill for a different taste! That’s one reason I love this recipe it is so versatile!
